The costal cartilage involved in the medial clavicle and multiple costal cartilages in the front chest felt dull or sharp pain, tenderness and swelling and swelling. The pain aggravated when breathing deeply, coughing or moving the affected upper limb, and sometimes released to the shoulder or back, even could not lift the arm, but the local skin did not change.

There was no obvious swelling and protrusion at the thoracic and spinal costal joints.
